Default Re: November Low-Content Thread

wow this is a sick bad paper. 1500-2000 words. 1539 ship it crucial =/ i didnt even use any notes/citations at all even though the prompt clearly states that footnotes should be in there. not really sure wtf kind of footnotes i am supposed to have when i am just working with a novel and my brain and i didnt use any quotes or waste time summarizing any of the book. probably my fault for actually reading the book instead of my standard skim it and then quote obsessively and add bad explanations to go w/ the quotes.

the weird thing is that of the 2 prompts one is basically all about [censored] from lecture/boring readings that would def require a lot of citations but the second one that i did is just about this novel so im hoping that the fact that the paper turned out to be pretty easy to write is some sort of reward for actually reading the book since as far as i can tell there was basically no other reason to waste my time reading it unless i was doing my paper on this prompt. and i gave up pretty precious time reading the book that i could have spent watching tv at commerce instead.

also brag: first time i have finished a paper by 8pm since probably high school. usually i havent even started reading the book that im supposed to be talking about at this time.
